Copper Corridor

Copper Corridor Trail Runs

The Copper Corridor Trail Runs take place in and around Superior, Arizona and include multiple trail distances on routes that use sections of Arnett Canyon, the Arizona Trail, and trails around Picketpost Mountain. The start and finish for the 50K, 31K, and 17K is in downtown Superior; the 12K starts and finishes at the Superior Public Pool.

Distances

• 50K many miles on the Arizona Trail and a loop around Picketpost Mountain
• 31K out-and-back through Arnett Canyon to Picketpost Trailhead
• 17K route through Arnett Canyon returning to downtown Superior
• 12K shorter loop starting and finishing at Superior Public Pool

Aid stations are provided along each course with water, ice, electrolyte drink, sweet and salty snacks, and fruit. Spacing varies by distance; runners are advised to carry containers and one to two bottles of water because the event is cupless and paper cups are not provided. The Telegraph Canyon aid for the 50K is a remote, minimal-aid location and represents a long stretch between stations.

Crews may access specified locations but parking is restricted near Picketpost and requires a short hike from the horse staging area. Pacers are not allowed for any distance. The event uses chip timing, posts live tracking and results, provides finisher glassware, and awards the top three male and female finishers at each distance. MedStar Solutions medical staff are onsite. Lodging and camping options are available in Superior and nearby Tonto National Forest. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
